If Cubs manager Joe Maddon has his way, the club won't play any more games that start at 3:05 p.m. Maddon said it throws players off their usual routines when most home games start at either 7:05 p.m. or 1:05 p.m.

"I definitely had that talk with the guys upstairs," Maddon said told the Tribune. "It's awkward. I'm not going to deny it's awkward. You get used to playing at 1 p.m. or 6 or 7 (p.m.). Hopefully that's something we can work our way through. I know I don't have any influence on that right now. I'm not even trying to influence that. But it's something to discuss moving forward."
